More exciting explorations of the Welsh alternative musical terrain...

From hip-hop to house, dub to drum & bass and all Celtic things between, it's a brand new episode of Cwm Dancing!

Celebrating six months of this project, host and curator Dave Columbo Jenkins is extra fizzy this month as he returns from this year's FOCUS WALES event with a recorder full of interviews, a bag full of exclusives and a head frothing with inspiration.

Celebrating Welsh sonic produce in a unique and high enthusiastic way, this month's show features a guest mix from DJ Butch Queen, interviews with Minas, 4DEE, DJ Blondy, Dave Acton and Alex from Porters Presents and music right across the spectrum including many exclusives you will not hear anywhere else.

It's by far the most intense and jam-packed two hour session so far. Please check the tracklist below and follow/support all the artists!
